Grant Description: There are two main purposes for this funding opportunity: 1) To facilitate concerted action and collaboration among the existing NCFA partners for the promotion of folic acid, and 2) To promote folic acid consumption among key primary and secondary audiences through a multisectoral approach. Methods of achieving these purposes can include a) drawing upon evidence-based approaches to folic acid promotion to develop culturally appropriate lifestyle interventions that support daily folic acid consumption; b) evaluating the acceptance and adherence to these interventions among individuals served by these intervention approaches or programs; c) selecting and disseminating these interventions through the channels most relevant to each particular audience; and d) ensuring that effective dissemination occurs. The purpose of this award is not to fund operational expenses of any single organization other than for the expressed purposes of this award, or to fund research activities. Applicants are not required to propose activities that address both stated purposes. CDC encourages proposals that address only one purpose.
